We don't have an official Zac Dysert thread in the lounge, so I thought I would start one. I think Dysert is the most underrated QB prospect in the draft.

Here, he is playing arguably one of the best teams in the nation last year. He probably leads his team to a victory if his wide receivers don't drop over a half dozen passes.

Zac Dysert has one thing no one else in this draft class has: The ball explodes out of his hand and gets on top of a receiver much more quickly than any other QB in this class - and consistently. In other words, his ability to drive the ball on short, intermediate and even some deep routes is unmatched by any other QB in this class. This was supported by second round stats analysis which indicates a very high level of accuracy to both the intermediate and deep levels.

I think Dysert would be an ideal project QB for Andy Reid to develop behind a starter, even if as a backup plan or develop-and-trade prospect. He would shine in Andy Reid's system consisting of a deep-to-shallow progression based on timing routes because of his ability to get the ball on a rope AT ANY LEVEL of the field.

However, Dysert is a one to two year project, imo. He must be taught to read defenses and work a progression. However, his upside as a pocket passer is tremendous and as a result, he is the third rated QB on my QB Big Board. Discuss.

“It’s unfortunate for all these guys that they had to deal with this weather,” said former RedHawk wide receiver and current Cincinnati Bengals offensive assistant Brayden Coombs about the 30-degree temperatures and 20 mph wind gusts. “It’s cold and with the wind like that for a quarterback workout is never going to make things easy.”

Coombs represented one of the nearly 20 teams in attendance, which included the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers, just to name a few.

Cruse and junior Luke Swift, ran various scripted routes for Dysert, who threw 64 passes in his segment of Thursday’s workouts.

“Zac has a strong arm and was accurate for the most part,” Coombs said. “He was a little inconsistent today, had a few get away from him, but in general he showed the same things we’ve seen.”

Dysert, who sustained a slight hamstring tear last month training at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., didn’t participate in any other drills, as he’s not yet cleared to run at full speed.

"The fact that he didn't run probably hurts him a little bit because he’s an athletic guy," said Coombs. "Compared to most other quarterbacks, that’s going to work to his advantage .”

“It’s probably like 85 percent,” Dysert said about his hamstring. “It feels fine. It doesn’t hurt when I jog or when I run, but I haven’t sprinted.”

The 6-foot-3, 228-pound signal caller said he would wait another week before he starts to push it more. He’ll also workout for NFL Scouts again on April 15 in Oxford.

Dysert, who completed 62.9 percent of his passes for 3,483 yards with 25 TDs during his senior season at Miami, is projected to be drafted anywhere from the second round to the sixth round of next month’s NFL Draft.

“It’s so tough to say (where he’ll be drafted) just because the way this year is with quarterbacks,” Coombs said. “There are teams that need them and there is a very limited pool. It’s not like last year where you had four or five first-round guys. A team could fall in love with him and he could go in the second round or nobody could take him until the fifth. I think he could go anywhere in that range.”

Dysert said he had six formal and about 20 informal interviews at the NFL Combine last month in Indianapolis. His formal interviews were with the Bengals, Bears, Bills, Cardinals, Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars.

“I can’t really control (where I’ll be selected), so I don’t worry about it,” Dysert said. “It used to drive me crazy. I used to think about it all the time, but it was driving me insane, so I just stopped worrying about it.”

Packers.com presents 'Prospect Primer,' a video look at an assortment of draft-eligible players who attended the scouting combine in Indianapolis. As a four-year starter, Dysert never completed less than 61 percent of his passes in a season, and his touchdown-to-interception ratio improved every year. Dysert broke Ben Roethlisberger’s school career records for passing attempts, completions and yardage.

Many so-called experts either love him or hate him as a prospect, but no one can dispute how productive Miami of Ohio quarterback Zac Dysert was during his career with a questionable-at-best surrounding cast.

Despite playing for three different head coaches during his career, Dysert was able to unseat current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as Miami's all-time career passing leader with 12,016 yards.

Also, at 6'3" and 231 lbs, Dysert looks the part of an NFL quarterback. He is a solid decision-maker and can also make all of the throws with excellent accuracy that you wouldn't expect from a player drafted this late in the draft.

If the Chiefs want a solid player to serve as an understudy and eventual long-term replacement for Alex Smith, Dysert is that player.

Bakhtiari- WTF? There are so many better OTs that can be had at the top of the 3rd round, not to mention better players overall. Terrible pick.

Taylor- Another huge WTF pick. Flopnuts turned me around on him. I like the player, but Christ... late 3rd for this guy? Awful pick.

Johnson- Ehhh... I took him in the CP mock, but ever since I did it out of desperation for a LB, I've really soured on him. He's pretty limited, and I hope people aren't expecting some guy who can do what Jovan Belcher did AND perform other tasks on defense much better.
